Zamir White's journey from two weeks to live to Georgia's star back and beyond

ATHENS, Ga. -- Shanee White was 14 years old when she became pregnant with her first child. At six months, a doctor told her that her baby, a boy, weighed just one pound and advised her to abort the pregnancy.

Her grandmother, Nancy White, quickly overruled the doctor.

"We're not going to terminate the pregnancy," she said. "No matter what's wrong with him, he's going to be born."

Shanee, already overwhelmed about having a child while still in high school, urged her grandmother to listen to the doctor.

"The doctor is not God, so he doesn't have the last say," her grandmother told her.
